A Jazz Tribute to Sting
Sting is a Renaissance man -- singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, author, actor and activist. He defies categorization, deftly incorporating jazz, punk rock, folk and gospel, to create some of the best songs crafted in the last 40 years. Worthy of celebration, a group of Madison and Milwaukee's finest jazz musicians have banded together to pay tribute to Gordon Sumner, in an intimate jazz setting. Al Falaschi of Phat Phunktion and Steely Dane handles the vocals, backed by an all-star cast of monster musicians. Tim Whalen of Phat Phunktion and an amazing solo jazz career is on piano, John Christensen on bass, Hannah Johnson on drums, and Ben Dameron on guitar. It will be an evening of hits, deep cuts, and dazzling soloing. Al Falaschi, vocals - Tim Whalen, piano - John Christensen, base - Hannah Johnson, drums - Ben Dameron, guitar

The Bend Theater
Built in 1929, The Bend Theater was originally built as a Vaudeville theater in West Bend. Over the decades, the theater underwent many changes but always retained its rich history and iconic “West Bend” blade sign.
In 2020, the Theater was restored to its original beauty by a nonprofit group called Historic West Bend Theater, Inc. These efforts landed The Bend Theater a designation on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
The Bend Theater is now reopened to serve West Bend and the greater Milwaukee region with arts opportunities, music, theater, comedy, movies and an experience unlike any other.
